THE FACTS
After he had pondered for some time over the ways and means
of assassinating President Roxas, the opportunity presented itself
on the night of March 10, 1947, when at a popular meeting held by
the Liberal Party at Plaza de Miranda, Quiapo, Manila attended by a
big crowd, President Roxas, accompanied by his wife and daughter
and surrounded by a number of ladies and gentlemen prominent in
government and politics, stood on a platform erected for that
purpose and delivered his speech expounding and trying to
convince his thousand of listeners of the advantages to be gained by
the Philippines, should the constitutional amendment granting
American citizens the same rights granted to Filipino nationals be
adopted.
Amen.
